1. Lighting: strawberry hanging orchid prefers semi-overcast environment. Spring and autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight, summer sun is particularly strong, can only see some oblique light in the morning and evening, during the day need to cover 50% 70% of the sun, otherwise it will make leaf tips dry, especially flower and leaf varieties, more afraid of strong sunlight. Phnom Penh strawberry orchids grow more beautiful in places with weak light, yellow edges are more obvious, and leaves are brighter. But it should be more sunny in winter in order to keep the leaves tender and fresh green. Strawberry orchids raised in the family pot should be placed in front of the south window, otherwise the leaves will lose their luster and even wither.

If the basin is deeper and the base fertilizer is more sufficient, the basin can be changed once every two years. When turning the basin, knock the plant out of the basin, cut off the withered roots and excess roots, replace it with a new humus-rich culture soil, and then apply livestock hoof horns or rotten cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, put the seedlings in a warm and semi-overcast place. The optimum growth temperature of strawberry orchid is about 25 ℃. After the plant returns to robust growth, hang the flowerpot under the eaves of the corridor or in an appropriate position in the room. The general height is not to meet, and should pay attention to ventilation.

From late spring to early autumn, organic fertilizer can be applied every 10 days, but less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to Phnom Penh, Jinxin and other mosaic varieties, so as not to fade or even disappear. The retting organic fertilizer such as bone meal and eggshell can be properly applied and poured once 10-15 days after full fermentation to make the flowers and leaves bright and bright.
